Neill Blomkamp Chooses Sci-Fi Project as 'District 9' Follow-Up

Fans of 'District 9' will be happy to hear that director Neill Blomkamp isn't resting on the laurels of his critically acclaimed debut. The South African-born filmmaker has already committed to his next sci-fi project set to begin production in mid-2010.

According to Variety, Media Rights Capital (MRC), the film, television and digital studio overseeing the project, is set to give Blomkamp creative freedom on the film. "MRC is letting me make the film I want to make, and that is by far the most important thing here," Blomkamp said. "The film will hopefully be commercial, but it is very much a singular film, (one) that comes directly from me."
